Putting aside the fact that Ken Jacquess is an acquaintance of mine,
I can recommend it on the musical front ∗if∗ you liked the first UK
album and Sean Guerin's proggier solo work. Think of it as UK fronted
by Peter Gabriel with a violinist in the lineup (used more than
Jobson).

As for the 'tron content, the keys are mostly played by Ryo Okumoto
of Spock's Beard so I expect the 'tron is real. A lot of flashy chops
in this one, and some of Holdsworth's most focused lead work in years,
perhaps because there's not much in the way of jazz going on.
This sounds pretty good to me. Where do I get it?
